The 23-year-old Sydney native went viral in 2012 for her captivating pre-race warmup routine, a “sexy-shake” type of dance as some called it, which she performed before several big races, including the 2012 World Junior Championships in Barcelona.

One photo Jenneke recently posted to Instagram, however, is standing out above the rest, and the reason why is very clear when you look at the picture:

She’s also posted videos of her training for her first-ever Olympic Games, like this one:

There seems to be no doubt that Jenneke looks prepared for her first Games. She will make her debut in the 100-meter hurdles on Tuesday in Rio. And she is sure to entrance fans yet again if she brings back the warmup dance routine.

“I wouldn’t say that I really came up with it,” Jenneke told Sports Illustrated— for whom she has appeared in swimsuit issues– in 2013. “It’s just something that sort of happened in one of my races. Someone got a hold of the footage and decided to post it on YouTube. And somehow it racked up a lot of hits.”

“I like the challenge of hurdling, it’s a little more technical than just straight sprinting,” Jenneke also told SI during her 2013 shoot, which she did with fellow athletes like surfer Alana Blanchard and field hockey players Eva de Goede and Ellen Hoog. “It’s just something that I feel like I was born to do.”
